Sexual Harassment Policy and Employee Handbook Updates
From social media to the nightly news, it is hard to miss the prevalence of the sexual harassment issue impacting every industry. Unwanted sexual behavior can result in lengthy and expensive legal battles and cause a PR nightmare. If we learned anything in 2017, it’s that businesses of all sizes need a policy in place that prevents any employee from the feeling of an unsafe workspace.
It’s important for both executives and employees to know the policies and the law.
